OK, Chet. I watched it. It's good but you shot it on "2's". You need to shoot it on "1's". Just one frame for each drawing. Then it will move faster-it should be 2 beats per second. 12 drawings per beat....makes sense?

Really cool guys. I got most of them to play, including the first one John mentioned woudln't from deviantart. Did you use a scanner on these? And did the animation on a lightboard? Obviously some are done on the computer with a wacom.

What do you suggest the cheapest, but effective way of doing this would be John?

ok john, i fixed the animation, but it still seems like its running faster than Kali's

Hi John, I noticed that there is a problem when firefox users try to se flash content embeded in a blog. You could try using internet explorer, or following the links above:http://www.ginga2d.com/blog/bosko1.htmlhttp://www.ginga2d.com/blog/bosko2.htmlhttp://www.ginga2d.com/blog/bosko3.html

Wow, I just stumbled across the blog and I must say, you've rekindled a love of animation that hasn't been in me for almost a decade. Back then Cartoon network still played classic material regularly.

The Milt Gross 'toon was really eye opening when I really watched it from an animation comparison aspect, and the first time I've actually laughed out loud from a cartoon sight gag in ages, the dog dancing around disguised as an ostrich was so original and absurd that I couldn't help it!

When I compare that to the drivel that I've been watching for the last decade (mostly original Hannah Barbara toons on Cartoon Network and an unhealthy dose of Spongebob, ugh) I wonder what the hell I've been thinking all this time. I feel like I've been in a coma!

Not to mention the flash/youtube garbage that comes out of Williams Street for Adult Swim (most of which I DON'T watch). Squidbillies? 12 Oz. Mouse? Please somebody kill me.

And now, morning action toons are trying to LOOK dynamic without actually BEING dynamic. The character design is drawn all outrageously out of proportion but nothing is actually DONE with it. It's Like they copied one cell from a fairly well animated toon and cut it at the joints and just said "here, lets just move these limbs around for a half hour, it's dynamic!".

I think the reason we never see animation evolve anymore is that in an age of television reruns, they need to make sure that they can play episodes in any order they need to without a jarring shift in visual styles to distract you from your hypnotic haze.

Well anyway, I didn't mean to ramble on. I just wanted to say thanks to you, and all the aspiring animators on this blog for opening up my eyes and renewing a sense of wonder in an art that I had long ago accepted (misguidedly) as dead.
